BODY CONTOURING Q & A

What is body contouring?

Body contouring is a noninvasive treatment that permanently destroys targeted fat cells. At Skin Deep Laser Medspa, the UltraShapeⓇ Power and SculpSureⓇ systems are used for these treatments.

The UltraShape system delivers ultrasound energy into the deeper tissue layers where fat cells are distributed, while SculpSure sends out waves of heat energy. This energy creates carefully controlled heating effects, which damages fat cell walls.

Once compromised, those cells can no longer store fat. The fat drains away and the cell debris is processed and eliminated through your lymphatic system.

The UltraShape Power system and SculpSure platform are preferred among medical and aesthetic professionals due to their ability to precisely target fat cells without damaging nearby blood vessels, nerves, or skin. Treatments are comfortable and brief, and require no advance preparation, anesthesia, or recovery time.

Why is it so hard to lose lingering fatty deposits?

Your body is an astounding and complex machine. When approaching fitness and aesthetic goals, it’s important to stop and think about the role that fat plays in your overall health. Fat acts as a type of stored energy, standing by and ready for action if you experience a caloric deficit.

You have fat cells throughout your body, many of which lie just under your skin. Those cells expand and shrink as needed to accommodate more or less fat. When you burn more calories than you consume, your fat cells will shrink, but there’s no way to control which cells will change the most.

That’s why spot training is ineffective. It’s simply not possible to diet or exercise to lose weight in specific target areas. Everyone stores fat differently, so your body may retain fatty deposits no matter what you eat or how much you move.

How long do the results of body contouring last?

Fat cells that are destroyed during body contouring with UltraShape Power or SculpSure never regenerate. However, your remaining fat cells can still expand and contract as you gain or lose weight. The effects of your body-contouring sessions will be altered if you gain a significant amount of weight.

Body contouring is not a weight-loss tool. It’s best suited for men and women who’ve achieved their weight goals and maintained a stable weight for some time. If you gain weight in the future, it’s perfectly safe to come back to Skin Deep Laser Medspa for touch-up UltraShape Power or SculpSure treatments.

If you’re unsure if this body contouring approach is right for you, schedule a visit at Skin Deep Laser Medspa to learn more. You can book a visit online or over the phone.
